oyster shell
An oyster shell is the hard, protective outer covering of an oyster, a variety of marine mollusk. This shell is typically grayish or whitish and consists of two hinged parts that can close to protect the soft-bodied oyster inside. The shell's inner surface is smooth and often has a lustrous sheen known as nacre or mother of pearl. Oyster shells grow with the oyster, getting bigger and thicker over time, and are made mostly of calcium carbonate. They have been used for various purposes including as a source of lime in gardening, supplements in poultry diets, and in crafting for their natural beauty.
